[Verse 1]
We can plant a seed and watch it grow
Food enough to fill a table
Running water down an overflow
Eat as much as we are able
[Pre-Chorus]
But would the fruit turn ripe
If the rains had never been?
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We, at Your mercy and Your reverence
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We've no defense, we are impotent
[Verse 2]
You can travel far to distant lands
Some, so hot, no man could bear
You can conquer peaks with winds of sand
Where Mother Nature didn't care
[Pre-Chorus]
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine?
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We, at Your mercy and Your reverence
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We've no defense, we are impotent
[Bridge]
And when the world grows old
And we know more than our brains can hold
Nature will be law
Well, we're as helpless now as we've ever been before
[Pre-Chorus]
Would not our world turn cold
If the sun refused to shine?
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We, at Your mercy and Your reverence
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We've no defense, we are impotent
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We, at Your mercy and Your reverence
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
We've no defense, we are impotent
[Outro]
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
